Rotating Kerrison Shaft, 6″ (150mm) Bayonet, 1.5mm, 40° up, Stainless Steel, Requires 70-2390 Micro

Rotating Kerrison Shaft, 6″ (150mm) Bayonet, 1.5mm, 40° Up, Stainless Steel – Requires 70-2390 Micro Handle is a professional-grade modular surgical instrument engineered for highly delicate spinal decompression, neurosurgical procedures, and orthopedic bone resection. Designed as a shaft-only component within a modular Kerrison Rongeur system, this instrument must be used with the compatible 70-2390 Micro Handle to create a complete and fully functional surgical instrument. The shaft features a 1.5mm bite size , making it ideal for microsurgical applications and procedures requiring highly controlled bone removal. The ultra-fine bite profile allows surgeons to perform precise decompression around critical neural structures while preserving surrounding anatomy and minimizing tissue disruption. Its 40° upward-facing footplate is specifically designed to provide improved access beneath anatomical structures while offering a more versatile approach angle than traditional 90° configurations. This design facilitates controlled bone resection and precise decompression within the spinal canal and neural foramina, particularly in confined operative spaces. The specialized bayonet configuration offsets the working tip from the handle, positioning the surgeon’s hand away from the direct line of sight. This significantly improves visualization of the operative field and is especially beneficial during microscopic, minimally invasive, and delicate spinal procedures where unobstructed visibility is essential. A key feature of this instrument is its rotating shaft mechanism , which allows surgeons to adjust the orientation of the cutting tip without repositioning the entire instrument. This capability enhances maneuverability, improves access to difficult anatomical regions, and increases procedural efficiency during complex decompression surgeries. With a 6-inch (150mm) shaft length , the instrument offers exceptional control and responsiveness while maintaining adequate reach for cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spinal procedures. The compact length is particularly advantageous in narrow operative corridors where precision instrument handling is critical. The Kerrison shaft is particularly effective for laminectomy, laminotomy, spinal decompression, foraminotomy, microdiscectomy, spinal stenosis surgery, cervical decompression, lumbar decompression, thoracic spine procedures, and neurosurgical interventions . It is commonly used for the precise removal of lamina, osteophytes, ligamentum flavum, hypertrophic bone, and other structures contributing to neural compression. The precision-engineered cutting mechanism provides smooth and controlled bone resection while delivering excellent tactile feedback. This allows surgeons to perform delicate decompression procedures confidently around sensitive neural structures such as the spinal cord, nerve roots, and dura mater. Manufactured from premium surgical-grade stainless steel , the shaft offers outstanding durability, corrosion resistance, and long-term clinical reliability. Precision manufacturing ensures smooth rotational performance, dependable cutting action, and consistent functionality through repeated sterilization cycles and routine surgical use. The polished surgical finish facilitates efficient cleaning and supports compatibility with standard hospital sterilization protocols. Fully reusable and autoclavable, the Rotating Kerrison Shaft, 6″ (150mm) Bayonet, 1.5mm, 40° Up, Stainless Steel is suitable for hospitals, spine centers, orthopedic departments, neurosurgical facilities, and teaching institutions worldwide. Trusted by spine surgeons, orthopedic specialists, and neurosurgeons, this modular instrument component delivers ultra-precise bone removal, enhanced surgical visibility, and professional-grade clinical reliability for advanced spinal and neurosurgical procedures.

It is used for ultra-precise bone removal and spinal decompression during spine surgery, neurosurgery, and orthopedic procedures where delicate tissue handling and surgical accuracy are essential. What advantage does the 1.5mm bite size provide? The 1.5mm bite size allows highly controlled bone resection, making it ideal for microsurgical decompression procedures performed near critical neural structures. What is the purpose of the 40° upward footplate? The 40° upward-facing footplate provides improved access to targeted anatomical structures while enabling controlled decompression and precise bone removal in confined surgical spaces. Why is the bayonet design beneficial? The bayonet configuration improves visualization by keeping the surgeon’s hand outside the direct viewing path, providing a clearer and less obstructed view of the operative field. Why is the shaft rotatable? The rotating mechanism allows surgeons to adjust the orientation of the cutting tip without repositioning the entire instrument, improving maneuverability, flexibility, and procedural precision. Does this product include a handle? No. This is a shaft-only component and requires the compatible 70-2390 Micro Handle to function as a complete Kerrison Rongeur. Is the instrument reusable? Yes. The Rotating Kerrison Shaft, 6″ (150mm) Bayonet, 1.5mm, 40° Up, Stainless Steel is fully reusable, autoclavable, and engineered to maintain precision, durability, and performance through repeated sterilization and long-term clinical use.
